Marriages 1838 were, in fact, the John & Elizabeth SMELSER - parents of William Harrison SMELSER. Or... a different John & Elizabeth. And, I have the Rockingham Co. guardianship date for Mary Kretzinger & the marriage of Mary Kretzinger & Adam Smelser. BUT, I always took that to be the same person...thinking Mary was probably 16 or so and needed a guardian, and then that old man, Adam, married her a few days later. I never thought of it like you've suggested - a daughter & mother named Mary. You may very well be correct!! Have you looked for a will for Michael Kretzinger?
